Hello everyone. I have been gone awhile, but still been lurking around, but not because I have stopped in my weight loss journey, but because I have actually been very busy.

Thanks to the help of Diettalk, I have now lost 102 lbs, have 29 more to go. Reaching that 100 mark was wonderful.

Before losing weight I went to work, came home, laid around, cooked and then ate supper (fried foods or fast foods), and then MIGHT get on the computer awhile and then back to bed, I was too tired to do anything else, I was slowly killing myself. NOW, I go to work, come home, go swimming, play golf, go shopping, clean house, cook a healthy meal, ride my bike, stay busy until bedtime. My husband has also lost 37 lbs. Before, I was standing on the sideline, watching life pass me by, too scared to take a step, NOW, I jump right in there.

I just wanted to share some of the changes that have taken place in my life. Life is for living, too short to stand on that sideline, and I have definitely decided, I LOVE LIFE.

Josey, That is such an inspiring story. It sounds like you have lost about the same amount that I still have to lose and hearing a story like yours and knowing it can be done helps alot. Congrats on all you have done.
